The game is about athleticism now WITH skills.

Barca needs to adapt

THIS!

We saw it at the World Cup as well (Mbappe vs Argentina's back line).

The physical demands of the modern game can no longer ignored. You obviously need tekkers as well, but I could imagine a seismic shift in the make up of the elite players in the coming future.

I'm glad I missed for a good cause at least otherwise I'd be pissed.

But my god :mjcry: Back to back CL finals :wow:

Team was finishing 8th 3 years ago. Southampton was four points off Champs League. Klopp is unbelievable, Anfield feeling damn near restored

Klopp made excellence a habit. We're so used to winning nowadays we forget the days when we struggled in the group stages. Now we breeze past Bayern and Porto and its :ehh:


Breh spoiling us. Back to back UCL finals and going the distance with Man City in the league.

The racists in spain will find the black player to blame and put all the problems and issues on. They wont blame the racist coach for benching umtiti and semedo. racist fukk
Spain is racist but they recognize fine players no matter the color. They've been calling for Valverde to leave even before the season started

but like @Lord_Chief_Rocka said, Barca needs to be on the phone with Pogba asap before Madrid gets to him. Jesus chirst their midfield is lifeless. I hope they're not banking on only De Jong as their creative outlet. He's more of a controller, not an Ineasta.

why?

Barca surely is gonna bring in a manager that knows how to coach attacking. This has to be it for Valverde. Dembele didn't play so he's chilling.

What you mean why :mjlol: He should have had 2 goals in the first leg, anyway it's fukk Barcelona all day every day
